In which we note, with some dismay, how Japanese prosecutors have actually appealed the acquittal of the Coinhive case, and compare it to the relatively light treatment a retired bureaucrat gets for running down a 3-year old child in Ikebukuro, before opining on the differential justice afforded Japan's social elite.

開発者によれば、EUNOMIAはマストドンやFediverseにおけるフェイクニュース問題を解決するために作られたEUのソフトウェア開発プロジェクトです。だがインサイダーによってリークされた内部チャットログを見れば、プロジェクトの暗部を暴きます。EUNOMIA is an EU initiative to create a software solution to solve the fake news problem on Mastodon and the Fediverse, according to its developers. But chat logs leaked by a project insider show a very different side of a controversial project.

In which we go back to three news stories from previous episodes and give some updates on their current situation, including the Coinhive arrests, Carlos Ghosn's unusual incarceration, and the fate of "summer time".

In which we take the opportunity presented to us by the sudden global tsunami of State censorship to examine the lesser-known injustices committed against the internet by government actors in various Asian countries...namely China, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan.

In early 2019, the Agency for Cultural Affairs proposed expanding the scope of the Copyright Act, which only covers music and video, to include comics, photographs, and all copyrighted written material as well. The Japanese government has made promises that these laws will only be used for serious and repeated copyright offenses. But the Japanese government has made many promises in the past. Each promise was abandoned as soon as it became inconvenient. This time will be no different. Fortunately, these proposals did not succeed. But only this time. They will be back, and it is necessary to prepare countermeasures against rising censorship of the internet. To that end, we have another software release to announce: Onion Share

前回の見解動画で、我々は検閲屋が自分の意見を他人に押し付ける方法について語りました。あの時、検閲屋はソニーの企業権力を行使していましたが、もう1つの攻撃方法もあります...国家権力です。In the last ANONYMOUS NO KENKAI video, we talked about how the Censors try to impose their views on others by force. Back then it was through corporate power via Sony, but this threat has another vector...government power.

In which we examine the details surrounding the arrest of one Carlos Ghosn, prolific businessman and former chairman of Nissan, including some lesser known facts that paint an entirely different picture of his sudden and aggressive prosecution.

In which we outline exactly how JASRAC (the Japanese Society for the Rights of Authors and Composers) is destroying music culture, again, before suggesting an easy solution that will probably never be considered or used.

In which some followup is given to close the issue of Epic Games and Monero, before moving on to discuss the plethora of cashless payment systems in Japan, their obvious pitfalls, and the risks of asking the government to fix what isn't broken.

In which Epic Games' exclusive embrace of Monero (courtesy of presumed lobbying by Project Coral Reef) is put under the microscope, alongside the US Department of Homeland Security, who seek to put private blockchains under a microscope of their own.

始まりは10月中旬、ソニーを通してPlaystation 4向けに発売している多くの日本のアダルトゲームメーカー各社が、自社コンテンツの検閲、または徹底的な削除を発表しました。2020五輪のせいにする人もいます。しかし実を言うと、ソニーと日本が知らないうちに海外の文化戦争に引き込まれてしまったのではないかというのが本当のところでしょう。Starting in mid-October 2018, a number of Japanese adult game makers publishing through Sony on the Playstation 4 announced that some of their content would either be censorsed, or outright removed. Some might blame the 2020 Olympics. But the reality is, Sony and Japan may have found themselves caught up in a culture war they don't fully understand.

In which we overview the running battle that is monetization of alternative content, and look at a promising new contender who might be the one to win it. Features a (brief) interview with Bitbacker.io

In which we discover that conservative outrage mobs are little better than their left-wing counterparts, and a crash-course in Indonesian society shows us that the so-called "blasphemy reporting app" Smart Pakem may be more than it appears.
